Epic Dress - Cosplay Challenge 'Tardis' Dress

I should also mention that the hat does also light up when a LED light is turned on in it (though, no flashing ).
But golly gosh, I am super happy. This was my first (conscious) cosplay I have done (my first sort of one was Teyla from Stargate Atlantis but I didn't know I was cosplaying). As you might have guessed, I am a big Doctor Who fan and I wanted to do something that was a bit flexible with creativity so I decided to do sexy... I mean, the Tardis with a 1950s twist because I noticed that in the newer series, they are always trying to get to the 1950s but the Tardis takes them somewhere else. Besides, the Tardis is a lady. The Doctor needs to treat her right.

I will be completeing this look with make up, big-ish hair, pearl necklace and earrings, white gloves with pearls and of course stockings and shoes.

It look me approximately 27 hours to make, with the most amount of time being spent on the windows for a single "item". There are four panels on the dress and I'm telling you... evil. But they look great on.

Cost wise, actually not too much as all the material was given to me (satin, lining and tulle) by a seamstress who was going to just throw it away (YAY for staying green) so the only things I bought was the zip, boning, elastic and the police box signs... so all up, maybe $30ish. Not bad for a full cosplay.

I am looking forward to shooting some proper shots in this. Some will be uploaded as cosplay photos but will still be available for stock if you so want to use it.

I will be wearing this outfit to OZ Comic Con Perth at the end of March. If any of you guys/ gals live in Perth and are coming along, please come and say hi. I will be easy to find and I would LOVE to meet other deviants - ESPECIALLY if there are any watchers out there.

YAY! So excited!
